Farmer High School Class of ‘61

Eighteen classmates of Farmer High School, the class of ‘61, pose on the steps of the old Elementary Farmer School on Aug. 24. They are, from left to right top to bottom, Billy Ray Hunt, Garland Latham, Joe Luther, Tommy Handcock, Betty Jarrell Pugh, Joyce Kearns Kivvett, Peggy Hoover Kindley, Diane Bell Luck, Billy Hindshaw, Brenda Surrett Tuttle, Mona Small Mans, Martha Dorsett Cagle, Candy Hammond, Virginia Hughes Lilly, Joyce Williams Steelman, Lucy Sanders Hunt, Anna Lanier Routh and Ellen Swaney Presnell. Evangelist Jimmie Clark of Lexington, the current owner, gave them a tour of what is now known as Farmer Christian Academy, an all-girl school for ages 12-17 years. Students who have been through a bad situation come there to get their life back on track, organizers say. (Contributed photo)
